CHEMGUARD High-Expansion Foam Generators produce large volumes of foam by coating a stainless steel perforated metal screen with high-expansion foam solution and expanding it with airflow generated by a water-powered fan.

AFFF’s are a combination of fluorochemical surfactants and synthetic foaming agents. AFFF’s extinguish fires by forming a aqueous film. This film is a thin layer of foam solution that spreads rapidly across the surface of a hydrocarbon fuel causing dramatic fire knockdown. The aqueous film is produced by the action of the

AFFF foam solutions can be applied to a flammable liquid fire using either aspirating or non-aspirating discharge devices. The difference between the two is that the air-aspirating device entrains air and causes it to mix with the foam solution within the device.

Buckeye AFFF foam concentrates are intended for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires and are available in 1%, 3% and 6% concentrations. Buckeye polar solvent foam concentrates are highly effective on Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires and are available as 3×3%, and 3×6% concentrates.

Generators are designed for all hazards types using Low, Medium or 3 dimensional High Expansion applications. Amongst famous SKUM innovations is HotFoam a recognized unique technology for Inside Air High Expansion application.

The high and medium expansion foam systems offer a fire extinguishing procedure that overwhelms the fire with the sheer volume of foam. The foam blanket that is produced transports water to the fire, suffocates and cools the fire, suppresses escaping vapors and encapsulates the toxic vapors and particulate.

Foam Maker is an air-aspirating foam discharge device designed to protect floating roof, flammable liquid storage tanks. Its additional applications include protection of diked flammable liquid storage and spill areas. The Foam system design guidelines generally used are in accordance with NFPA11 standard.

SKUM Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) concentrates combine fluoro- and hydrocarbon surfactants to produce high performance firefighting foams. AFFFs generate an aqueous film barrier at a hydrocarbon fuel/air interface.

Water, electric, or diesel powered, CHEMGUARD high-expansion foam generators are primarily used for firefighting in aircraft hangars and other structures, in mines, on ships and vehicles, and on military installations. Our foam generators also are effective in controlling fuel spill fires and wildland fire timber breaks.

Foam Generators (FCH *-250 are designed to expand foam solution into millions of tiny bubbles in which the foam solution is expanded in volume to a range of 200:1 to 450:1 approximately depending on the generator selected, solution flow rate, foam concentrate and the …
